Acts 7

1 Stephen, permitted to answer to the accusation of blasphemy, 2 sheweth that Abraham worshipped God rightly, and how God chose the fathers 20 before Moses was born, and before the Tabernacle and Temple were built: 37 that Moses himself witnessed of Christ, 44 and that all outward ceremonies were ordained according to the heavenly pattern, to last but for a time: 51 reprehending their rebellion, and murdering of Christ, the Just One, whom the prophets foretold should come into the world. 54 Whereupon they stone him to death, who commendeth his soul to Jesus, and humbly prayeth for them.

 7:1 ¶ Then 1161 said 2036 z5627 the x3588 high priest, 749 x1487 x686 Are 2192 y1487 y686 z5719 these x5023 things y5023 so? 3779

 7:2 And 1161 he x3588 said, 5346 z5713 Men, 435 brethren, 80 and 2532 fathers, 3962 hearken; 191 z5657 The x3588 God 2316 of glory 1391 appeared 3700 z5681 unto our 2257 father 3962 Abraham, 11 when he was 5607 z5752 in 1722 Mesopotamia, 3318 before 4250 2228 he 846 dwelt 2730 z5658 in 1722 Haran, 5488

 7:3 And 2532 said 2036 z5627 unto 4314 him, 846 Get x1831 thee y1831 z5628 out of 1537 thy 4675 country, 1093 and 2532 from 1537 thy 4675 kindred, 4772 and 2532 come 1204 z5773 into 1519 the land 1093 which 3739 302 I shall show 1166 z5692 thee. 4671

 7:4 Then 5119 came x1831 he y1831 z5631 out of 1537 the land 1093 of the Chaldeans, 5466 and dwelt 2730 z5656 in 1722 Haran: 5488 and from thence, 2547 when y3326 his 846 father 3962 was dead, 599 z5629 he removed 3351 z5656 him 846 into 1519 this 5026 land, 1093 wherein 1519 3739 ye 5210 now 3568 dwell. 2730 z5719

 7:5 And 2532 he gave 1325 z5656 him 846 none 3756 inheritance 2817 in 1722 it, y846 no, x846 not 3761 [so much as] to set y968 z0 his foot y4228 on: 968 x4228 yet 2532 he promised 1861 z5662 that he would give 1325 z5629 it 846 to him 846 for 1519 a possession, 2697 and 2532 to his 846 seed 4690 after 3326 him, 846 when [as yet] he 846 had 5607 z5752 no 3756 child. 5043

 7:6 And 1161 God 2316 spake 2980 z5656 on this wise, 3779 That 3754 his 846 seed 4690 should 2071 z5704 sojourn 3941 in 1722 a strange 245 land; 1093 and 2532 that they should bring y1402 z0 them y846 into bondage, 1402 z5692 x846 and 2532 entreat [them] evil 2559 z5692 four hundred 5071 years. 2094

 7:7 And 2532 the x3588 nation 1484 to whom 3739 y1437 they shall x1437 be in bondage 1398 z5661 will y2919 z0 I 1473 judge, 2919 z5692 said 2036 z5627 God: 2316 and 2532 after 3326 that 5023 shall they come forth, 1831 z5695 and 2532 serve 3000 z5692 me 3427 in 1722 this 5129 place. 5117

 7:8 And 2532 he gave 1325 z5656 him 846 the covenant 1242 of circumcision: 4061 and 2532 so 3779 [Abraham] begat 1080 z5656 Isaac, 2464 and 2532 circumcised 4059 z5627 him 846 the x3588 eighth 3590 day; 2250 and 2532 Isaac 2464 [begat] Jacob; 2384 and 2532 Jacob 2384 [begat] the x3588 twelve 1427 patriarchs. 3966

 7:9 And 2532 the x3588 patriarchs, 3966 moved with envy, 2206 z5660 sold 591 z5639 Joseph 2501 into 1519 Egypt: 125 but 2532 God 2316 was 2258 z5713 with 3326 him, 846

 7:10 And 2532 delivered 1807 z5639 him 846 out of 1537 all 3956 his 846 afflictions, 2347 and 2532 gave 1325 z5656 him 846 favor 5485 and 2532 wisdom 4678 in the sight 1726 of Pharaoh 5328 king 935 of Egypt; 125 and 2532 he made 2525 z5656 him 846 governor 2233 z5740 over 1909 Egypt 125 and 2532 all 3650 his y846 x848 house. 3624

 7:11 Now 1161 there came 2064 z5627 a dearth 3042 over 1909 all 3650 the x3588 land 1093 of Egypt 125 and 2532 Canaan, 5477 and 2532 great 3173 affliction: 2347 and 2532 our 2257 fathers 3962 found 2147 z5707 no 3756 sustenance. 5527

 7:12 But 1161 when Jacob 2384 heard 191 z5660 that there was 5607 z5752 corn 4621 in 1722 Egypt, 125 he sent out 1821 z5656 our 2257 fathers 3962 first. 4412

 7:13 And 2532 at 1722 the x3588 second 1208 [time] Joseph 2501 was made known 319 z5681 to his y846 x848 brethren; 80 and 2532 Joseph's 2501 kindred 1085 was made 1096 z5633 known 5318 unto Pharaoh. 5328

 7:14 Then 1161 sent 649 z5660 Joseph, 2501 and called 3333 z5668 his y846 x848 father 3962 Jacob 2384 to [him], and 2532 all 3956 his y846 x848 kindred, 4772 y1722 threescore y1440 and fifteen 4002 x1440 souls. 5590

 7:15 So 1161 Jacob 2384 went down 2597 z5627 into 1519 Egypt, 125 and 2532 died, 5053 z5656 he, 846 and 2532 our 2257 fathers, 3962

 7:16 And 2532 were carried over 3346 z5681 into 1519 Shechem, 4966 and 2532 laid 5087 z5681 in 1722 the x3588 sepulcher 3418 that 3739 Abraham 11 bought 5608 z5662 for a sum 5092 of money 694 of 3844 the x3588 sons 5207 of Hamor 1697 [the father] y3588 of Shechem. 4966

 7:17 But 1161 when 2531 the x3588 time 5550 of the x3588 promise 1860 drew nigh, 1448 z5707 which 3739 God 2316 had sworn 3660 z5656 to Abraham, 11 the x3588 people 2992 grew 837 z5656 and 2532 multiplied 4129 z5681 in 1722 Egypt, 125

 7:18 Till 891 y3757 another 2087 king 935 arose, 450 z5627 which 3739 knew 1492 z5715 not 3756 Joseph. 2501

 7:19 The same 3778 dealt subtlely y2686 z5666 with x2686 our 2257 kindred, 1085 and evil entreated 2559 z5656 our 2257 fathers, 3962 so that y4160 z5721 they cast out 1570 x4160 their 846 young children, 1025 to the end y1519 they might y2225 z0 not 3361 live. 2225 z5745

 7:20 In 1722 which 3739 time 2540 Moses 3475 was born, 1080 z5681 and 2532 was 2258 z5713 exceeding y2316 fair, 791 and y3739 x2532 nourished up 397 z5648 x3979 in 1722 his y846 x848 father's 3962 house 3624 three 5140 months: 3376

 7:21 And 1161 when he 846 was cast out, 1620 z5685 Pharaoh's 5328 daughter 2364 took y337 z0 him y846 up, 337 z5639 x846 and 2532 nourished 397 z5668 him 846 for 1519 her own 1438 son. 5207

 7:22 And 2532 Moses 3475 was learned 3811 z5681 in all 3956 the wisdom 4678 of the Egyptians, 124 and 1161 was 2258 z5713 mighty 1415 in 1722 words 3056 and 2532 in 1722 deeds. 2041

 7:23 And 1161 when 5613 he 846 was full 4137 z5712 forty x5063 years y5063 old, 5550 it came 305 z5627 into 1909 his 846 heart 2588 to visit 1980 z5664 his y846 x848 brethren 80 the x3588 children 5207 of Israel. 2474

 7:24 And 2532 seeing 1492 z5631 one 5100 [of them] suffer wrong, 91 z5746 he defended 292 z5662 [him], and 2532 avenged 1557 4160 z5656 him that was oppressed, 2669 z5746 and smote 3960 z5660 the x3588 Egyptian: 124

 7:25 For 1161 he supposed 3543 z5707 his y846 x848 brethren 80 would have understood 4920 z5721 how y3754 that x3754 God 2316 by 1223 his 846 hand 5495 would deliver 1325 4991 z5719 them: 846 but 1161 they x3588 understood 4920 z5656 not. 3756

 7:26 And 5037 the x3588 next 1966 z5752 day 2250 he showed himself 3700 z5681 unto them 846 as they strove, 3164 z5736 and 2532 would have set y4900 z5656 them y846 at y1519 one again, 1515 x4900 x846 x1519 saying, 2036 z5631 Sirs, 435 ye 5210 are 2075 z5748 brethren; 80 why 2444 do ye wrong 91 z5719 one to another? 240

 7:27 But 1161 he that did y91 z0 his neighbor y4139 wrong 91 z5723 x4139 thrust y683 z0 him y846 away, 683 z5662 x846 saying, 2036 z5631 Who 5101 made 2525 z5656 thee 4571 a ruler 758 and 2532 a judge 1348 over 1909 us? 2248

 7:28 Wilt 3361 2309 z5719 thou 4771 kill 337 z5629 me, 3165 as y3739 y5158 thou didst 337 z5627 x3739 x5158 the x3588 Egyptian 124 yesterday? 5504

 7:29 Then 1161 fled 5343 z5627 Moses 3475 at 1722 this 5129 saying, 3056 and 2532 was 1096 z5633 a stranger 3941 in 1722 the land 1093 of Midian, 3099 where 3757 he begat 1080 z5656 two 1417 sons. 5207

 7:30 And 2532 when forty 5062 years 2094 were expired, 4137 z5685 there appeared 3700 z5681 to him 846 in 1722 the x3588 wilderness 2048 of mount 3735 Sinai 4614 an angel 32 of the Lord 2962 in 1722 a flame 5395 of fire 4442 in a bush. 942

 7:31 When 1161 Moses 3475 saw 1492 z5631 [it], he wondered 2296 z5656 at the x3588 sight: 3705 and 1161 as he 846 drew near 4334 z5740 to behold 2657 z5658 [it], the voice 5456 of the Lord 2962 came 1096 z5633 unto 4314 him, 846

 7:32 [Saying], I 1473 [am] the x3588 God 2316 of thy 4675 fathers, 3962 the x3588 God 2316 of Abraham, 11 and 2532 the x3588 God 2316 of Isaac, 2464 and 2532 the x3588 God 2316 of Jacob. 2384 Then 1161 Moses 3475 trembled, 1096 1790 z5637 and durst 5111 z5707 not 3756 behold. 2657 z5658

 7:33 Then 1161 said 2036 z5627 the x3588 Lord 2962 to him, 846 Put off 3089 z5657 thy shoes 5266 from thy 4675 feet: 4228 for 1063 the x3588 place 5117 where 1722 3739 thou standest 2476 z5758 is 2076 z5748 holy 40 ground. 1093

 7:34 I have seen, 1492 z5631 I have seen 1492 z5627 the x3588 affliction 2561 of my 3450 people 2992 which 3588 is in 1722 Egypt, 125 and 2532 I have heard 191 z5656 their 846 groaning, y4726 x4725 and 2532 am come down 2597 z5627 to deliver 1807 z5641 them. 846 And 2532 now 3568 come, 1204 z5773 I will send 649 z5692 thee 4571 into 1519 Egypt. 125

 7:35 This 5126 Moses 3475 whom 3739 they refused, 720 z5662 saying, 2036 z5631 Who 5101 made 2525 z5656 thee 4571 a ruler 758 and 2532 a judge? 1348 the same 5126 did God 2316 send 649 z5656 [to be] a ruler 758 and 2532 a deliverer 3086 by 1722 the hand 5495 of the angel 32 which y3588 appeared 3700 z5685 to him 846 in 1722 the x3588 bush. 942

 7:36 He 3778 brought y1806 z0 them y846 out, 1806 z5627 x846 after that he had showed 4160 z5660 wonders 5059 and 2532 signs 4592 in 1722 the land 1093 of Egypt, 125 and 2532 in 1722 the Red 2063 sea, 2281 and 2532 in 1722 the x3588 wilderness 2048 forty 5062 years. 2094

 7:37 ¶ This 3778 is 2076 z5748 that Moses, 3475 which y3588 said 2036 z5631 unto the x3588 children 5207 of Israel, 2474 A prophet 4396 shall y450 z0 the Lord 2962 your 5216 God 2316 raise up 450 z5692 unto you 5213 of 1537 your 5216 brethren, 80 like y5613 unto x5613 me; 1691 him 846 shall ye hear. 191 z5695

 7:38 This 3778 is x2076 he, y2076 z5748 that was 1096 z5637 in 1722 the x3588 church 1577 in 1722 the x3588 wilderness 2048 with 3326 the x3588 angel 32 which y3588 spake 2980 z5723 to him 846 in 1722 the x3588 mount 3735 Sinai, 4614 and 2532 [with] our 2257 fathers: 3962 who 3739 received 1209 z5662 the lively 2198 z5723 oracles 3051 to give 1325 z5629 unto us: 2254

 7:39 To whom 3739 our 2257 fathers 3962 would 2309 z5656 not 3756 obey, 1096 5255 z5635 but 235 thrust [him] from x683 them, y683 z5662 and 2532 in their y846 x848 hearts 2588 turned back again 4762 z5648 into 1519 Egypt, 125

 7:40 Saying 2036 z5631 unto Aaron, 2 Make 4160 z5657 us 2254 gods 2316 to 3739 go before 4313 z5695 us: 2257 for 1063 [as for] this 3778 Moses, 3475 which 3739 brought 1806 z5627 us 2248 out of 1537 the land 1093 of Egypt, 125 we wot 1492 z5758 not 3756 what 5101 is become 1096 z5754 of him. 846

 7:41 And 2532 they made a calf 3447 z5656 in 1722 those 1565 days, 2250 and 2532 offered 321 z5627 sacrifice 2378 unto the x3588 idol, 1497 and 2532 rejoiced 2165 z5712 in 1722 the x3588 works 2041 of their own y846 x848 hands. 5495

 7:42 Then 1161 God 2316 turned, 4762 z5656 and 2532 gave y3860 z0 them y846 up 3860 z5656 x846 to worship 3000 z5721 the x3588 host 4756 of heaven; 3772 as x2531 it y2531 is written 1125 z5769 in 1722 the book 976 of the x3588 prophets, 4396 O ye house 3624 of Israel, 2474 have ye x3361 offered 4374 y3361 z5656 to me 3427 slain beasts 4968 and 2532 sacrifices 2378 [by the space of] forty 5062 years 2094 in 1722 the x3588 wilderness? 2048

 7:43 Yea, 2532 ye took up 353 z5627 the x3588 tabernacle 4633 of Moloch, 3434 and 2532 the x3588 star 798 of your 5216 god 2316 Remphan, 4481 figures 5179 which 3739 ye made 4160 z5656 to worship 4352 z5721 them: 846 and 2532 I will carry y3351 z0 you y5209 away 3351 z5692 x5209 beyond 1900 Babylon. y897 x847

 7:44 Our 2257 fathers 3962 had 2258 z5713 the x3588 tabernacle 4633 of witness 3142 y1722 in 1722 the x3588 wilderness, 2048 as y2531 he had appointed, 1299 z5668 speaking 2980 z5723 unto Moses, 3475 that he should make 4160 z5658 it 846 according 2596 to the x3588 fashion 5179 that 3739 he had seen. 3708 z5715

 7:45 Which 3739 also 2532 our 2257 fathers 3962 that came y1237 z5666 after x1237 brought in 1521 z5627 with 3326 Joshua 2424 into 1722 the x3588 possession 2697 of the x3588 Gentiles, 1484 whom 3739 God 2316 drove out 1856 z5656 before 575 the face 4383 of our 2257 fathers, 3962 unto 2193 the x3588 days 2250 of David; 1138

 7:46 Who 3739 found 2147 z5627 favor 5485 before 1799 God, y2316 x2315 and 2532 desired 154 z5668 to find 2147 z5629 a tabernacle 4638 for the x3588 God 2316 of Jacob. 2384

 7:47 But 1161 Solomon 4672 built 3618 z5656 him 846 a house. 3624

 7:48 Howbeit 235 the x3588 most High 5310 dwelleth 2730 z5719 not 3756 in 1722 temples 3485 made with hands; 5499 as 2531 saith 3004 z5719 the x3588 prophet, 4396

 7:49 Heaven 3772 [is] my 3427 throne, 2362 and 1161 earth 1093 [is] my 3450 footstool: 4228 5286 what 4169 house 3624 will ye build 3618 z5692 me? 3427 saith 3004 z5719 the Lord: 2962 or 2228 what 5101 [is] the place 5117 of my 3450 rest? 2663

 7:50 Hath y4160 z0 not 3780 my 3450 hand 5495 made 4160 z5656 all 3956 these things? 5023

 7:51 ¶ Ye stiffnecked 4644 and 2532 uncircumcised 564 in heart 2588 and 2532 ears, 3775 ye 5210 do y496 z0 always 104 resist 496 z5719 the x3588 Holy 40 Ghost: 4151 as 5613 your 5216 fathers 3962 [did], so 2532 [do] ye. 5210

 7:52 Which 5101 of the x3588 prophets 4396 have y1377 z0 not 3756 your 5216 fathers 3962 persecuted? 1377 z5656 and 2532 they have slain 615 z5656 them which y3588 showed before 4293 z5660 of 4012 the x3588 coming 1660 of the x3588 Just One; 1342 of whom 3739 ye 5210 have been 1096 z5769 now 3568 the betrayers 4273 and 2532 murderers: 5406

 7:53 Who 3748 have received 2983 z5627 the x3588 law 3551 by 1519 the disposition 1296 of angels, 32 and 2532 have y5442 z0 not 3756 kept 5442 z5656 [it].

 7:54 ¶ When 1161 they heard 191 z5723 these things, 5023 they were cut 1282 z5712 to x848 the x3588 heart, 2588 y846 and 2532 they gnashed 1031 z5707 on 1909 him 846 with [their] teeth. y3599 x3598

 7:55 But 1161 he, being 5225 z5723 full 4134 of the Holy 40 Ghost, 4151 looked up steadfastly 816 z5660 into 1519 heaven, 3772 and saw 1492 z5627 the glory 1391 of God, 2316 and 2532 Jesus 2424 standing 2476 z5761 on 1537 the right hand 1188 of God, 2316

 7:56 And 2532 said, 2036 z5627 Behold, 2400 z5628 I see 2334 z5719 the x3588 heavens 3772 opened, 455 z5772 and 2532 the x3588 Son 5207 of man 444 standing 2476 z5761 on 1537 the right hand 1188 of God. 2316

 7:57 Then 1161 they cried out 2896 z5660 with a loud 3173 voice, y5456 x5466 and stopped 4912 z5627 their y846 x848 ears, 3775 and 2532 ran 3729 z5656 upon 1909 him 846 with one accord, 3661

 7:58 And 2532 cast 1544 z5631 [him] out x1854 of y1854 the x3588 city, 4172 and stoned 3036 z5707 [him]: and 2532 the x3588 witnesses 3144 laid down 659 z5639 their y846 x848 clothes 2440 at 3844 a young man's 3494 feet, 4228 whose name x2564 was y2564 z5746 Saul. 4569

 7:59 And 2532 they stoned 3036 z5707 Stephen, 4736 calling upon 1941 z5734 [God], and 2532 saying, 3004 z5723 Lord 2962 Jesus, 2424 receive 1209 z5663 my 3450 spirit. 4151

 7:60 And 1161 he kneeled down, 5087 1119 z5631 and cried 2896 z5656 with a loud 3173 voice, 5456 Lord, 2962 lay 2476 z5661 not 3361 this 5026 sin 266 to their y846 charge. x846 And 2532 when he had said 2036 z5631 this, 5124 he fell asleep. 2837 z5681
